Gulf of Suez

The gulf was formed within a relatively young but now inactive Gulf of Suez Rift rift basin, dating back about 28 million years.〔http://geoinfo.amu.edu.pl/wpk/geos/GEO_2/GEO_PLATE_T-37.HTML Detailed geological information on the Gulf〕 It stretches some north by northwest, terminating at the Egyptian city of Suez and the entrance to the Suez Canal.
